Was very happy to be asked to contribute a journal club article for @NatRevGenet to highlight a paper that made a difference in marine phytogeography. For me it was work by Paul Barber from 2002 - A marine Wallace’s line?

These are very sad news!

Started an enduring love of Jarvis Cocker and it remains a superb collection of music…

Loved this journey with all these fabulous colleagues from across the globe and making #eDNA science available to all…

Absolutely the Propellerheads. History Repeating, and the whole of DecksandDrumsandRockandRoll, were highlights of 1998! First year university will never be the same again!

Bianca happily sorting through what feels like a million sediment samples looking for #microplastics. Despite getting very dirty in the process, she is still smiling. Bianca’s MSc fits into ProjectSeastore, focussing on restoration and conservation of #seagrass in #SouthAfrica

Goodbye #edna2023japan it was amazing! Great science, wonderful people and even an art class 😂Much more than I ever expected and really excited to be doing more #eDNA research!

Was super excited to be there and enjoyed every minute. Thank you for the invite, the great feedback and come and visit #SouthAfrica to see what other #eDNA research we are up to!

Sorry Jon, that’s really hard!!!

So happy to be (a small) part of this paper, picking up where Warren Potts and I left off from my PhD work back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The invasion of central Namibia by the warm-adapted Argyrsomus coronus shows no signs of abating, and hybridisation might be helping!

Frederick (and all of us) is super excited to publish his first research paper on restoration trials of #Zostera #capensis in South Africa. An important contribution to help us in our efforts to better understand #seagrass #restoration in #SouthAfrica. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

And on the #WorldOceanDay2023 theme “the tides are changing”, Courtney Gardiner wrote a fantastic piece inspired by her PhD on GenClim on Species On The Move Conference dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-0…

Doing the rounds again in #SouthAfrica. Careful how you do it out there, so you don’t increase your risk of cancer and strokes 🤣🤣🤣

So cool to see the lab we represented. Thanks for flying the flag so brilliantly! #GoTeam #seagrass #awesomescience

Thank you for all your amazing Southern African Society of Aquatic Scientists coverage and the support for our students! Really appreciated!

Good luck Gina!!!

This is what happens when heading off on leave… some cute ants build a new home under your phone… and eat the electrics at the same time. Welcome Back to work!!

This is amazing Luiz and so well deserved! Excellent and relevant research too!

Good luck little guys!
